Whole-Home Repiping in Tucson
Whole-house repiping in Tucson, backed in writing
Corroded galvanized pipe, polybutylene, recurring leaks or discolored water: we replace the system once, in PEX, with the scope and price in writing before a single pipe comes out. Single-story homes from $12,995 base.
What a whole-house repipe costs in Tucson
Stop chasing leaks. A whole-house repipe replaces every hot and cold supply line in your home with new PEX in one job, done in days, with the full price in writing before a single pipe comes out. Picture Rocks Cooling, Heating & Plumbing repipes homes across Tucson, Marana, Oro Valley and Picture Rocks.
Single-story homes start at $12,995. Two-story homes start at $17,495. That base gets you new lines from the house-side shutoff to two full bathrooms, the kitchen, the washer and the water heater tie-in, plus the pressure test, leak check and cleanup. An extra full bath adds $2,295 and a half bath adds $1,095. The table below shows every package, so you can see exactly how your number is built.
The new PEX may carry up to a 25-year manufacturer's warranty, subject to the manufacturer's terms, and our workmanship carries a written 1-year warranty. We cut access openings as neatly as practical, stud to stud where we can; drywall patching and paint aren't in the base price, and you can add them to the same written scope. Want to spread out the cost? Financing runs $500 to $65,000 through Optimus and Wisetack, with terms from 3 months to 15 years, subject to approved credit, including our 0% APR plans (there's always one; how long the 0% lasts depends on the plan).

When patching a pipe isn't the answer
Some plumbing problems are really one leak. Others are a symptom of a pipe system that's reached the end of its life — old galvanized steel, aging polybutylene, or copper that's corroded from the inside out after years of Tucson's hard water. Leak detection and slab leak testing helps establish whether another failure is isolated or part of a pattern. When that's what's going on, we tell you plainly instead of billing you for repeated patch repairs on a system that's going to keep failing. Whole-home repiping replaces the problem instead of chasing it.
Signs your home may need repiping
- Recurring leaks in different parts of the house
- Low water pressure throughout the home, not just at one fixture
- Discolored or rusty water, especially right after turning a tap on
- Visible corrosion on exposed pipes
- A home with original galvanized or polybutylene pipe
Our process
How we approach a repiping job
01
Assess the whole system
We look at pipe material, age, and condition throughout the home before recommending a full repipe over a repair.
02
Walk you through the plan
You'll know the scope, the timeline, and the price before any pipe comes out of the wall.
03
Tested and documented, not assumed
Water pressure is tested with a gauge on inspection, the new lines are pressure-tested and leak-checked before the walls close, and the work is documented with photos as it goes. You see what changed, not just a technician's word for it.
04
Backed in writing
Every repiping job is backed by our written workmanship guarantee, with a 1-year workmanship warranty. See warranty details.
Copper pinhole leaks in older Tucson homes
Water chemistry can contribute to copper pinhole leaks in older central-Tucson homes. The useful question is not just where water escaped, but what that spot tells you about the remaining pipe. Ask what evidence supports replacing more than the damaged section.
Bring any past repair invoices or photos to the discussion. A record of which pipes were repaired helps you compare a limited repair with a broader replacement. We want that decision based on the condition of your plumbing, not a recommendation to replace everything simply because the house is older.
Does a 1980s or 1990s home have polybutylene?
Some Tucson tracts built in the 1980s and 1990s have polybutylene piping. That history is a reason to ask about the material in your house, not proof that you have it. If you have an inspection report or records from a previous owner, keep those handy.
Before agreeing to a whole-home project, ask which sections are still original and which have already been replaced. The recommendation should address the pipes actually present, rather than treating the construction date as a diagnosis.
What to clarify before repiping starts
- Wall access and finish work: ask where openings are planned and who is responsible for drywall, texture, and paint. Check the written exclusions rather than assuming the plumbing price includes finished walls.
- Water access: alongside your house-specific timeline, ask for a written water-off plan before work starts. Clarify when water will be shut off and what you need to arrange for cooking, bathrooms, and laundry.
- Scope changes: ask how any added work will be explained and priced. The price goes in writing before work starts; make sure you understand what is included and what would be a separate decision.
